Default 997.1 gt3 rs wheels questions

Hi guys

Buying a 997.1 gt3 and I notice it has "rs" wheels which are orange. I was wanting to return them to stock gt3 wheels and have some questions:

1- based on photo do those look like authentic rs wheels?

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qkhESM95Psc/maxresdefault.jpg

2- are rs wheels the same size and weight as non rs gt3 wheels?

3- do you think there Are folks interested in swapping those for stock gt3 997 wheels?

thanks

The wheel is the same style for both cars.
The RS wheel has offset for wide body. Won't fit the narrow body GT3.
My guess is the car you're buying has standard GT3 wheels painted orange with RS center caps.

These are regular GT3 wheels, just painted orange. The RS is a wide body and the rear wheels have different offsets which will make them poke out on a narrow body (GT3) car.

As an aside, the guy who owns the car has posted a ton of videos of it on youtube, seems like an enthusiast who's enjoyed the car thoroughly.

Somebody tried to give the car a RS kinda theme at some point.

The wheels are stock but the center caps are wrong. (RS rear wheels will not fit on regular GT3)
Best to have the wheels powder coated oem silver or black and install factory GT3 center caps.
Id remove the orange nose and orange winglet accents too.

The car had a sharkwerks on it. Id look to get that if you can. They are my favorite.

Hopefully stock radio is back in it.

Nice car.

I'd trade you for my set of Stock GT3 wheels for those in orange if you get the car. It looks super clean.

Is there a giant chip on the Rear PCCB.

Was that Rob Feretti's old GT3?
